Goldman Sachs generated net revenues of $17.2 billion and earnings per share of $17.55 in the first quarter, both the second highest in firm history, on a 19.8% return on equity and a 21.3% ROTE. Global Banking & Markets set a segment record at $12.7 billion with an ROE above 22%, led by record equities net revenues of $5.3 billion and advisory revenues of $1.5 billion, up 89% year-over-year on higher completed volumes. FICC net revenues were $4 billion as significantly lower rates and mortgages results were partly offset by stronger currencies and commodities, while combined FICC and equities financing revenues of $3.7 billion rose 36% to nearly 40% of the two businesses' total. Asset & Wealth Management ended the quarter with a record $3.7 trillion in assets under supervision, $62 billion of long-term net inflows and $26 billion of alternatives fundraising that included $10 billion in credit. Management said the M&A backlog held near its four-year high despite record accruals, and the firm returned $6.4 billion to shareholders, including $5 billion of buybacks, and ended at a 12.5% CET1 ratio.
